Servant Upgrade-

Servants of the Dawn
Avengers of the Sun
Children of the Light

The new servants would be modified so that there are 3 groups, servants, avengers, and children we’ll call them. There would be three cabal halls, three items, and three leaders. The catch would be that they share powers and cabal halls.. even though they are powered by different items.

This would work by having some powers from each cabal be universal. Meaning that one of the avengers powers could be used by the servants and children if the avengers held their sword of shimmering light, and two of the servants powers could be used by the avengers and children if they held the phoenix egg. Just to keep things simple, the servants wouldn’t have any new powers, there’s would still be…

Altruism
Guard*
Golden Aura*
Succor

With Guard and Golden Aura being shared with the avengers and children, and all of the above powers would be fueled by the phoenix egg.

The avengers would have more aggressive powers…

Lightblade (Creates a wrath attack weapon, similar to the old golden weapons [can be any type of weapon]. Also may do special wrath attacks in combat)

Wings of fury (Similar to gate, but can only be used with one area.. the opposite of summon)

HolyLight* (Area spell that is basically similar to turn undead, except would affect all evil people. It would do damage on the mangle level with a 2 round delay, and a small chance of blinding those struck)

The childrens powers are as follows:

Empathy* (This automatic skill causes the guardians of the three cabals to report where and when a member has entered combat to everyone in the cabal)

Guardian Angel (This automatic skill protects the child against harm by causing him to vanish [similar to the assassins skill] when his health hits the wimpy point)

Pureheart (This power burns away negative affects that are afflicting the child such as blindness, poison, plague, curses and damnation)

Now that I’ve gone over what the new skills/powers will be, here is how they will all work together. First, there will be two more cabal halls added, the servants haven remaining where it is. The avengers would have a home in Galadon, near the paladins guild (so they don’t have to run far to get from their guild to their cabal hall) . The children’s playground would be over by seantryn.

The purpose of each…

Servants would remain the same, they are the lowely clerics and social workers who help those in need.

The avengers would follow closely with Shokai’s religion, squishing evil where they find it, but paying less attention to the every day problems of lightwalkers.

The children would be the free spirits who are good in essense, but don’t want to get involved with any war, or devote their lives to helping others. They would be a cross between troupe/sylvan and entropy, with a decidedly good twist. I'd think of 'em as a bunch of elves and faeries.. free spirit types.

Now, each of the cabal halls would have an entrance or portal to each of the other cabal halls that could be used so long as both the cabals held their item (if you wanted to go from the haven to the playground [need a better name for it] then so long as the phoenix egg and the twinkling star are held by the good guys, you can just walk right through).

Obviously servants, avengers, and children all would be allowed into each others cabal hall.

Of note is the fact that these are separate cabals, and if the empire or some big nasty person grabs up all the items, then someone from each cabal must be present to recover their item. I foresee there being a decided lack of children, so for most of the time the children’s item will be held by someone other than them, that is until a group of hero's comes along and kills the inner guardian.

Just to gloss over the powers once more..
